COTTON EYED JOE
11220 Outlet Drive, Knoxville and 106 E. Broad St., Cookeville
It's "Urban Cowboy" turned into a theme park. The big dance floor features all-together-now line dancing, as well as the do-it-yourself two-step. Now and again they turn the lights down low for a slow dance.
Naturally, there's a mechanical bull. Entertainment of the liquid variety includes the Beer Grab, a blind-man's brew where you pay your money, take a blind grab in the ice and drink whatever comes out.
And the Shooter Girls, who walk around wearing smiles and gun belts lined with shot glasses.
